Middle East emergency
A humanitarian emergency is unfolding across the Middle East.
Families have been forced to flee their homes, including those who are already refugees, with nowhere safe to turn. Displaced people are in urgent need of aid.
UNHCR is the largest UN agency present in Iran. We are on the ground with emergency supplies and are ready to scale up as needed.
We are at the borders in neighbouring countries, ready to respond with the relief items that people need most in the first days after they are forced to flee, including blankets, sleeping mats, and hygiene kits.
